Served on SSBNs USS H. M. Jackson, USS Georgia (now SSGN ). Toured the USS Ohio, USS Michigan and USS Nautilus (Groton), USS Dallas (SSN), USS San Francisco ( prior to collision ) and toured the USS Bowfin at Pearl, and on the same trip toured the USS Hawkbill (666, not a good hull #). Also at Pearl boarded the USS Kamaymaya, an old 640 class ( 41 for Freedom ).
I also toured an old russian Foxtrot that was tied near Lions Gate park in BC. What amazed me about the russian boat was the similarity to US subs with alot of the equipment, battlelanterns, switchboards and other little things. Even the old ash-trays and ZARFs were identical to the ones used on US boats. Never been on a German uboat, maybe someday, would be an honor and a pleasure. |

I'm SHOCKED -- no one's been on the U.S.S. Croaker?? Time for some of you to come to Buffalo, NY and see the Croaker! It underwent the Guppy conversion though -- YUCK!! Still very interesting to tour.

I've been lucky enough to have been on two:
The USS Albacore (AGSS-569) which was a test bed for the modern hulls of today and the USS Lionfish (SS-298) which had two war patrols and sank a japanise sub
